Solution Overview

Problem

Existing packaging boxes have fixed accommodating spaces, leading to instability and inefficiency when dealing with slight variations in bottle volume, resulting in unwanted shaking during transportation.

Innovation Solution

A packaging box design featuring an adjustable block and a replaceable protruding block within the box body, allowing for flexible adjustment of the accommodating space to securely fit bottles of varying sizes, preventing shaking and enhancing universality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the packaging box has a fixed accommodating space, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the bottle shakes during transportation due to volume mismatches

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of bottle during transportationVSAvoidcomplexity of packaging box structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging box employs an adjustable block that can be repositioned along the longitudinal axis to dynamically change the accommodating space. This dynamic adjustment mechanism allows the box to adapt to different bottle volumes, preventing shaking during transportation while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the parameter of accommodating space by allowing the adjusting block to move between different positions. This parameter change enables the packaging box to match different bottle volumes, thereby improving stability during transportation without significantly increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the packaging box has a fixed accommodating space, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the universality is limited when dealing with varying bottle volumes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniversality of packaging boxVSAvoidease of packaging box manufacturing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging box is segmented into a box body and an adjustable block that can be independently manufactured and then assembled. This segmentation allows for simplified manufacturing of individual components while enabling universal application through the adjustable block's repositioning capability to accommodate different bottle sizes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of energy

If the packaging box is designed to be compacted to minimum volume during transportation, then transport costs are reduced, but the accommodating space must be precisely adjusted to fit the bottle

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransport costVSAvoidprecision of accommodating space adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustable block provides a dynamic mechanism for precisely controlling the accommodating space. By repositioning the block to specific locations, the packaging box can be compacted to minimum volume for cost-effective transportation while maintaining precise fit for the bottle, thus reducing energy loss without compromising precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
